CANFORD EARMOULDS FOR WALKMAN (BUD) TYPE EAR DRIVERS
These earmoulds provide a superior fit of Walkman (“bud”) style earphones to the ear. These soft silicon-rubber earmoulds are considerably more comfortable for extended wear than the low-cost machine-moulded disposable earmoulds, due to the materials used and fact that their shape is produced in a hand-made process. Custom moulded types provide a very effective acoustic seal, up to 20dB, and are recommended as the use of a custom mould results in considerably better performance from the ear drivers.
Custom earmoulds are made from a mould taken from the user’s ear. Any hearing aid or audiology centre can take ear impressions. It is a simple and painless process taking about 15 minutes. Ask the audiologist to take a semi-deep impression, using two-part silicon impression material, to the second bend in the ear, to include the helix and concha. Make sure that the impressions are clearly marked and that the name you wish to show on the final product is enclosed. If you have difficulty in finding a suitable Audiologist, or discretion for a professional artist is required, we can provide contact details for suitable clinics in London. We regret that Canford cannot make arrangements for the creation of moulds. Please call Technical Support for datasheet 02-166 for more information about custom earmoulds, and for the special procedures required in processing these orders.
Ordering note: All earmoulds are supplied as a left & right pair in a soft, padded pouch complete with a set of hygiene wipes.
